In the past years, the demand for integrated solutions with regard to emergency control and security management has strongly increased. This applies in particular to industrial control centers that are responsible for a quick and efficient intervention in hazardous situations. This includes coordination of preventive measures such as e.g. resource proposals, alarming and assignment of emergency personnel, but in addition also visualization and control of all security-relevant devices such as e.g. fire alarm and access control systems or video surveillance. To make the complete spectrum of control center tasks operable in a continuous, comfortable, quick and secure way, Advancis and Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure have created an optimal overall solution by the close linkage of the PSIM system WinGuard with the operational command system Intergraph Computer Aided Dispatch (I/CAD) by Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. Both daily control processes as well as emergency management can be perfectly realized via this combined, independent software platform. Read more here:

SICK and Advancis have entered into a strategic technology partnership, as SICK sensors can be easily integrated in the PSIM system WinGuard by Advancis, e.g. using the open OPC protocol.

The integrated solution combines the benefits of the WinGuard security and building management system with those of the SICK laser products an optimum way, enabling an early detection and verification of unauthorized access into a surveilled area. The different security systems are linked in an intelligent way so that e.g. detection and identification of persons as well as position information by the laser scanners can be used for control of an existing video system. Clear proposals for action based on predefined rules provide reliable workflows depending on the situation. Read more here:
